ECOtality and Frog Design debut eye-catching Blink EV chargers 27 July 2010 at 5:21 pm by admin

Coulomb Technologies isn’t the only company that’s announced some new electric vehicle chargers at this week’s Plug-In 2010 conference in San Jose — ECOtality has also taken advantage of the show to debut its new Blink EV chargers. Those were developed in partnership with Frog Design , which is responsible for the eye-catching look that the companies hope will become a “new icon for a smart EV ecosystem.” Of particular note with the home version is a modular set-up that lets you place the garden hose-like cord reel separate from the main unit, which the company says makes it particularly well-suited for cramped garages.
